The Road to Damascus

Across the Bay has a very nice post illustrating why Pelosi's recent foray is so wrongheaded. The thing that is bothering me more and more is that it would seem that in her ignorance (or perhaps better, arrogance) she thought she could just go over, say "come on guy's, lets be reasonable," and the peace process would be on its way. After you read this article, if you are not frightened, you should be.

Efendi offers a penetrating summary quotation:

"To quote James Phillips, "What is missing is not American willingness to talk to Syria but Syria's willingness to halt its hostile actions.""
